Abstract:
A method of transmitting information on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) in a wireless local area network system is provided. A responding station receives a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from a requesting station, configures a MCS feedback (MFB) based on the PPDU, and transmits feedback information to the requesting station. If the MFB is configured as a response to a MFB request (MRQ) of the requesting station, the feedback information includes the configured MFB and a MFB type field indicating that the MFB is configured as a response to the MRQ of the requesting station. If the MFB is not configured as a response to the MRQ of the requesting station, the feedback information includes the configured MFB, a MFB type field indicating that the MFB is not configured as a response to the MRQ of the requesting station, and coding information indicating a PPDU coding type.

Abstract:
A method and terminal apparatus are described for allocating resources for transmitting a signal in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. An uplink signal is transmitted using L layers at a terminal in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. Modulation symbols are generated by modulating output bit sequences of an interleaver matrix by a unit of log2 Q bits. Q is a modulation order, and each of the output bit sequences has a size of L·log2 Q bits. The modulation symbols are mapped to the L layers and transmitted by using the L layers. The output bit sequences are generated by reading out entries of the interleaver matrix, column by column.
